MEETING TOPICS
The Mission of Augusta Birth Network is to promote the awareness and availability of mother-friendly maternity care.

Augusta Birth Network is part of a grassroots movement based on the belief that birth can profoundly affect our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Augusta Birth Network advocates mother-friendly care, as defined by the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative. By making informed choices and having confidence in the process,  families can experience safe and satisfying childbirth.

The foundation of our organization is the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative, authored by the Coalition to Improve Maternity Services (CIMS). 

All are welcome to attend our FREE regular meetings in Augusta -- 1st Monday of every month
7:00-8:30 PM at Earth Fare, 368 Fury’s Ferry Road and to join our Yahoo  group.
